The prceedings serve as an informationsource to those interested in isplementing and/or further developingprograms concerning pest management. Focusing on the Southern regionof the United States, the publilation is divided into fiveparts as follows: Part I, Concepts of ?est Management, includes historicalperspectives, ecological principles, approaches to measuringpopulations and the life system concepts. Part II, Parasites and Predictorsof Arthropods, consists of statements on such topicsas the status of biological control procedures, identification and classification,means to increase natural enemies and selectiveuse of in.Acticides. Part III discusses biological control of weeds, includingaquatic weeds. Part IV, Host Plant Resistance for Control ofPlant Pathogens and Insects, includes statements on disease resistance, techniquesof breeding for resistance and biochemical bases ofresistance of plants. Part V, Insect Pathogens, comprises microbiologicaldiscussions including bacteria, viral, protozoan and fun3a1pathogens.

    2013 Draft Mazama Pocket Gopher Status Update and Recovery Plan

    DRAFT Mazama Pocket Gopher Status Update and Recovery Plan Derek W. Stinson Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Wildlife Program 600 Capitol Way N Olympia, Washington January 2013 In 1990, the Washington Wildlife Commission adopted procedures for listing and de-listing species as endangered, threatened, or sensitive and for writing recovery and management plans for listed species (WAC 232-12-297, Appendix A). The procedures, developed by a group of citizens, interest groups, and state and federal agencies, require preparation of recovery plans for species listed as threatened or endangered. Recovery, as defined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is the process by which the decline of an endangered or threatened species is arrested or reversed, and threats to its survival are neutralized, so that its long-term survival in nature can be ensured. This is the Draft Washington State Status Update and Recovery Plan for the Mazama Pocket Gopher. It summarizes what is known of the historical and current distribution and abundance of the Mazama pocket gopher in Washington and describes factors affecting known populations and its habitat. It prescribes strategies to recover the species, such as protecting populations and existing habitat, evaluating and restoring habitat, and initiating research and cooperative programs. Target population objectives and other criteria for down-listing to state Sensitive are identified. As part of the State’s listing and recovery procedures, the draft recovery plan is available for a 90-day public comment period.

In fact, it has been claimed that 6^. discopterus is solely a species of the east. As the two species are taxonomically difficult to separate, when they were apparently discovered together at several localities in the southwestern Yukon, a detailed investigation of their systematics and distribution seemed necessary.

    Importation of Fresh Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), Shelled or in Pods, from Jordan into the Continental United States A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Risk Assessment February 14, 2011 Version 2 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Beans from Jordan Executive Summary In this risk assessment we examined the risks associated with the importation of fresh beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in pods (French, green, snap, and string beans) or shelled, from the Kingdom of Jordan into the continental United States. We developed a list of pests associated with beans (in any country) that occur in Jordan on any host based on scientific literature, previous commodity risk assessments, records of intercepted pests at ports-of-entry, and information from experts on bean production. This is a qualitative risk assessment, as we express estimates of risk in descriptive terms (High, Medium, and Low) rather than numerically in probabilities or frequencies. We identified seven quarantine pests likely to follow the pathway of introduction. We estimated Consequences of Introduction by assessing five elements that reflect the biology and ecology of the pests: climate-host interaction, host range, dispersal potential, economic impact, and environmental impact. We estimated Likelihood of Introduction values by considering both the quantity of the commodity imported annually and the potential for pest introduction and establishment. We summed the Consequences of Introduction and Likelihood of Introduction values to estimate overall Pest Risk Potentials, which describe risk in the absence of mitigation.

TJie followint; apparently undescribcd species have mostly been received from Mr. Roberto Miiller, of Mexico City, for identification. I have been assisted in placing some of the species by Sir George F. Ilampson and Mr. William Schaus. Their assistance is specially acknowledged under each heading. All the species are from Mexico excei)t in one famil}', the Cochlidiidae, where species from Costa Rica and Brazil are described. Superfamily PAPILIONOIDEA. Family SATYRID^. Genus EUPTYCHIA Hubner. EUPTYCHIA PERTEPIDA, new species. Dark gray; a reddish shade over the middle of the fore wing, espe- cially marked along the median vein and the bases of veins 3 and 4; a diffused band of erect scales across the disk beyond the median vein, cut by the reddish veins. Hind ^ving with the diffused reddish shade outwardly; two elongated blackish spots on the margin between veins 3 to 5. Beneath the fore wings are reddish on the lower half; two brown lines cross the disk, and there is a row of submarginal lunate dusky spots. Ilind wing brown-gray, the two median lines wavy and irregular, with a faint similar subbasal line, the outermost line followed by a bright reddish shade. A submarginal row of silvery scaling in a waved and broken line, crossing two velvet}' black oval spots on the margin, on which the silver forms irregularl}' geminate spots. Expanse, 35 mm. Female similar, but the whole discal area of fore whig overspread willi bright brownish red, the Imes of the underside slightly indicated, the SOX mark absent.

Richman2 Introduction Distribution The predatory stink bug, Euthyrhynchus floridanus (Lin- Euthyrhynchus floridanus is primarily a Neotropical species naeus) (Figure 1), is considered a beneficial insect because that ranges within the southeastern quarter of the United most of its prey consists of plant-damaging bugs, beetles, States. and caterpillars. It seldom plays a major role in the natural control of insects in Florida, but its prey includes a number Description of economically important species. Adults The length of males is approximately 12 mm, with a head width of 2.3 mm and a humeral width of 6.4 mm. The length of females is 12 to 17 mm, with a head width of 2.4 mm and a humeral width of 7.2 mm. Euthyrhynchus floridanus (Figure 2) normally can be distinguished from all other stink bugs in the southeastern United States by a red- dish spot at each corner of the scutellum outlined against a blue-black to purplish-brown ground color. Variations occur that might cause confusion with somewhat similar stink bugs in several genera, such as Stiretrus, Oplomus, and Perillus, but these other bugs have obtuse humeri, or at least lack the distinct humeral spine that is present in adults of Euthyrhynchus. In addition, species of these genera Figure 1. Adult of the Florida predatory stink bug, Euthyrhynchus known to occur in Florida have a short spine or tubercle floridanus (L.), feeding on a beetle. situated on the lower surface of the front femur behind the Credits: Lyle J.
